Third party integrations Node-RED

What I am trying to accomplish is if my wife or a guest is home turn on the heat based on a schedule. The reason I do not like the above is because I need to repeat this 11 times for each thermostat in the house that has a different schedule and different rules as to whether or not I care about guests.

It cannot fire every 5min etc because I want to allow manual override at the thermostat.

Main Question I have is there a better way to do the above? Mainly the beginning where I have to check if my wife is home and iif not do we have guests? Then since I want it to fire even if she is not home and then I toggle the guest switch it still needs to turn the timer(heat) back to auto.

thanks, quite simple. In between I came up with this…

I’ll change it a bit to use the state_changed node you did, not sure if it was my recent updating(everything was 2yrs old) or I just didn’t notice the list option.

That helps a lot, Thank you.

Final Form(few more rooms to add). The triggers will be moving to Presence flow so they can be used on other flows.

Can you export you entire flow?
I think at least the call service nodes can be made dynamic and maybe also the temp nodes.

i couldnt figure out how to post the code without it being 1000s of lines… aka not sure how to do a one line code box

you make a line with ``` before and after the code.
You can mark the text too and click the </> icon, but make sure there is a blank line before and after included in the markings or it will be marked differently.
